The author discusses the use of std::polymorphic to implement composite classes, where a class owns member objects in a has-a relation. This allows for polymorphic behavior without requiring a cloning mechanism or virtual destructors. The author provides an example of using std::polymorphic to create an event log that stores various types of events, and demonstrates how this approach ...
A programmer-to-be is questioning the relevance of traditional education as technology advances, but Neil Postman's book suggests schools will continue to exist due to their adaptability and multiple purposes.
